Aleshin changed the auto industry to aviation

AvtoVAZ President Boris Aleshin officially leaves the company. The next place of work may be the Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute (TsAGI), on the basis of which Aleshin expects to create a new structure that will monopolize the development and testing of civil and military equipment in Russia, the Kommersant newspaper writes.

At AvtoVAZ, Aleshin’s departure explains him with his own desire to change his work. The top manager himself refused to discuss this, but the sources of the publication at the factory say that he expects to lead the largest developer and testing of flight equipment in the country - FSUE TsAGI.

The enterprise is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, and now it is headed by Sergey Chernyshev. Formally, for the change of CEO of the TsAGI, the ministry must hold a competition to replace his position, however, according to the sources of the newspaper, Boris Aleshin "was able to agree that the ministry would first make him the acting head of TsAGI, and only then, through the competition, will finally approve."

Chernyshev "already aware of the upcoming personnel permutations and does not mind", as he is invited to become Deputy Aleshin as the executive director of TsAGI.

As Kommersant notes, Aleshin has already managed to work in the Avia Prom. Since 1978, he worked at the Research Institute of Automatic Systems (since 1990 - the State Research Institute of Aviation Systems) - the main scientific center in the USSR in radio electron equipment of all types of airlines.

Aleshin and the Center for the microelectronics of the aviation industry at the Research Institute of AS, was involved in the problems of the on-board computing systems of the MiG-29 and Su-27 fighters, was one of the organizers of the Russian-French project to create the Migi-Ata training aircraft.

Now Aleshin does not intend to limit himself to TsAGI one, hoping to unite all the key institutions around him that are related to the development, testing and certification of civilian and combat flight equipment, their materials and components.

In fact, the fact that Boris Aleshin intends to create a new structure in Russia, which will oversee the development and testing of civil and military aircraft. This will give him, firstly, the opportunity to receive state financing for R&D, and secondly, to “influence defense orders”, says one of the interlocutors of Kommersant.
